Day 2 of the Pinterest Challenge!

Day 2 Frugal Grocery Tip: GROW YOUR OWN! Stop wasting $2.50-$4.00 on just a few stems of basil, parsley, chives and rosemary. Instead, invest in some seeds and grow your own. Most are pretty hard to kill, so thats a bonus for you non-green thumbs (like me :)

Day 2: Healthy Recipe!

This is my favorite go-to party dip to bring. It's an unlikely one, which I think makes me like it more! If you have friends or family that like trying new things or love peanut butter and chocolate, they'll LOVE this dip. To make, combine the chickpeas, maple syrup, peanut butter and vanilla extract in a food processor. Blend until smooth. Then, fold in chocolate chips. Serve with graham crackers or even just a spoon!

Move 2: Chair Squat Jumps - Start in a squat position with your feet together and knees behind your toes. Jump out until your feet are shoulder width apart. Make sure to stay in the squatted position and don't stand up. Jump back together. Repeat 20x.

Move 3: Inner Thigh Leg Lift - While sitting on the ground, place your hands beside your upper thighs and sit up straight. Stretch out one leg long while the other one is pulled in. Turn the toe of the outstretched leg and slowly raise and lower the leg. Repeat 15 times on each side.
